    Yep Craig, just try coming up with SOME excuse for having to SLOW DOWN, admit it, you just couldn't handle the 1st gen any more! You could have glued some 2x4s to your shoes!! Oh ya, thats right, Squid had to change cause he got shorter as he got older! Therefore, the 10 lb turkey today! LOL Happy Thanksgiving!! Dan

    Thought you was talkin' bought me for a second there, Brad! My opinion(for what it's worth!), remember the front left and rear are linked. You need to go thru both, clean and restore the master and reservoir with fresh fluid in both systems. The MK1's are a PAIN to bleed the front brake after it's been drained. Make sure to pull the pistons and renew with seals, etc. There will be old "carmelized" fluid in there that you'll have to scrape out. PIA, but they work alot better after you've done this. For the board---- is it possible to replace the block on the neck with a block that has a bleeder fitting? Has it been done before? Will a MK11 fit there? Inquiring minds want to know? Thanks, Dan

    Where do I find a set to fit the 7/8ths guards on my 1st gen? Or do they make a shim for the 1" mounts? Dan

    Dang Carl, looks like you been visiting Frogman with all those water drops on your bike!! You sure you haven't been imitating those KTM and BMW's we see in those ads crossing the creeks?! I've got the Bad Boy on mine, saved my butt more than once! Might just add one for the left side! Dan

    I have read most of the "political" threads, whether they be about actual politics, the economy or Harley bikes. Very seldom do I post to these, as I tend to keep my opinion to myself or face to face encounters (well, except for the 1st/2nd gen thing!). Expression of ideas and the pursuant dialog on that subject is one of the inalienable rights of this country, but it is usually done in the correct forum. I agree with our "founding father" and our most wise and "well-rounded" moderator "The Squidley" and the rest of the Originals when they voted to not allow political discussion to be rampant on this great site. I have met some life-long friends and acquaintances on here, and would like it to remain that way. I mean, how can you find friends in Germany, Iceland, Australia and New Guinea, help them to get parts, advice, or just talk through emails about whats going on in their life? I cetainly don't get that thru other sites. And a few laughs thrown in along the way! So, getting off of my soapbox, lets keep it true to the founders wishes, and control the urges when it happens!

    I think some of our Western riders need to bring Jonas some Rocky mountain Oysters, I'll bring the pickled pigs feet.......... My dad used to eat those like gumballs (no pun intended-----ok, yes there was!!!!) Dan

    Wait on our resident Vmax guru Squeeze, and he'll let us know. Less than 30 bucks apiece, pretty good, me thinks. Dan

    HMMMMMMM, I can see a contest coming up at MD this year............ Cheesecake or Rhubarb pie???? Name your poison, boys! The game is on!!
  14. Dano
    BTW Brad, us "skinny guys" have the same amount of stomach, it's just all that extra "leftovers" that we don't have to carry around. We're generally moving around and getting more done than youse guys that have to "let the belt out a notch" after a meal........ Keeps those quarter-mile times down, you know! I will guarentee you, for a good, fresh rhubarb pie, I would ride like a "pond-monster" up to MiCarls just to enjoy it!

    My pleasure. Glad I could help. Dan

    Sorry if I ruffled your feathers there Lynn. Was mearly making a comment on his screen name. Doesn't bother me if he wants to go with pegs, I myself find them quite comfortable. I wish him luck in his endeavor.
  17. Dano
    Just buy a 1st gen. Then you can have whatever you want, floorboards or footpegs, AND you can keep up with your screen-name!!

    Easiest way to check output of the regulator is at the battery. The manual has a way to check ohms in the regulator, been awhile since I did that. Just check DC voltage at the battery, should be 13.5 or higher with the engine at 2500 rpm. Any lower rpm and the stator does not develop enuff juice. You will need to replace the regulator with a 5 wire if that's what you have. Dan

    Forums- Tecnical Library-Read Only- Venturerider parts exchange- do a double click there........... I'm surprised you hadn't seen it yet, Lynn. Dan

    Good looking kid there, Spear. Dang near old enough to take for a ride, eh?? Dan
  21. Dano
    Send a PM to Eck, he'll put them on the Venture Parts Exchange list, that way everybody will see them if they miss this post.

    MiCarl, you can keep the pumpkin pie, but I would NOT advise eating the rhubarb pie! You MUST send that down to me so I can taste it for you and make sure it's safe!!!!! I'll try and send whats left over back to you! Not much chance of that happening, tho!! Dan
  23. Dano
    I believe there may be a difference. Some have a fifth wire, a brown one, in the middle of the plug.
  24. Dano
    Done on both accounts. Dan
  25. Dano
    Done.
